CNNW CNN Newsroom With Brooke Baldwin August 15, 2016

Shes admired. Theres nothing, nothing, she doesnt understand about americas place in the world. Ladies and gentlemen [ cheers and applause ] because she knows one thing. That donald trump doesnt know. Its never, ever, ever been a good bet to bet against the United States of america. [ cheers and applause ] give it a fair shot. Give it a fair chance. Americans have never, never, never ever let their country down. Never. And ladies and gentlemen, in scranton and in america we never bow, we never bend, we never kneel, we never yield, we own the finish line. Thats who we are. We are america [ cheers and applause ] and she gets it. Were second to none and Hillary Clinton is going to write the next chapter in american victory. [ cheers and applause ] here you have it, we havent seen these two on the same stage since the Democratic National convention a couple weeks ago in philadelphia. Huge, huge applause. This is a hometown crowd not just for the Vice President joe biden but as she pointed out earlier on, her dads family, roots in scranton. So the clinton rather the rodhams and the bidens growing up blocks away from one another, talking about their roots there in this special town in pennsylvania. Hillary clinton saying what is unique is in this country where both of these stories were written no matter what donald trump says america is great. We heard a lot today first with Hillary Clinton talking about once again calling on donald trump to release his tax returns. We also heard prebuttal to Donald Trumps speech in the battleground state of ohio which well take momentarily. Thats the small box on your screen where he will talk terrorism and his plans to safeguard the United States and then, of course, the big moment. The Vice President up to bat, getting the crowds on their feet talking about why Hillary Clinton is the pick to be the next president of the United States and why donald trump what he said, quoting him, trump has no clue what it takes to lead this country. With that, let me bring in a couple of voices, David Chalian is with me from washington, Brianna Keilar is there in washington. Ryan lizza, cnn political analyst and ed okeefe with the washington post. Ive got all of you at a table far away from me but well work with it. David chalian, to you first. We were in philadelphia, it was obviously he was speaking to a Hometown Team in philadelphia in the throws of support for him and then, of course, there in scranton. Talk about a man who is a pretty stellar Approval Rating beyond the president of the United States for Hillary Clinton, you cant get a better advocate from that. I think we went into this event looking far White Working Class joe biden appeal in this place where you heard the Vice President himself sort of tout the success of the obama biden ticket in 2008 and 2012 in this area and trying to parlay some of that on to Hillary Clinton but what we walked away from was a total trump takedown and again thises that sitting Vice President. Obviously everyone will say of course, this is a democrat supporting Hillary Clinton, hell take down donald trump but that doesnt get at and weve seen this from the president and now were seeing it from the sitting Vice President about how rare it is even in these partisan days for a sitting Vice President to say thing s like without hesitation i can say no Major Party Nominee in history has known less or been less prepared to deal with National Security. And what amazes him that he doesnt seem to want to learn about it. These are just complete gutting of donald trump to a home crowd but also someone who goes to work everyday at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. And at the dnc referring to thats a line of a bunch of malarkey, which donald trump has become famous, youre fired. Thats exactly right. I think he was playing to this crowd. One of the lines that stuck with me was something in tandem that weve seen with this Hillary Clinton ad that is out which is theres a guy behind me who has the nuclear codes. Thats what he said. So youre picturing this person with the Nuclear Football with joe biden in case he has to take control and theres some sort of issue and hes creating what was the conclusion of this twominute ad the Hillary Clinton campaign is out with which ends with michael hayden, the former cia director under george w. Bush talking about how quickly you can move when you decide that you want to take action when it comes to a Nuclear Weapon and then to execute that he said its built for speed and you hear joe biden speaking to that as well. Theres this sense of laying out the case about why donald trump is not fit and then tying what he thinks and what he said about things to his impulsive nature and how big of a negative out come he says there could be because of that. This is something were seeing Hillary Clinton hammer home and joe biden as well. Springboarding off that, ed okeefe. The line Hillary Clinton repeated today that they tweeted out today, these were trumps words from last november when he spoke in iowa about i know more about isis than the generals do, believe me. Yeah, its a line that democrats have repeated repeatedly, frankly and one that works, as she was discussing all of this you can see how so offended and how much this bothers her to her core. Wherever she talks about trump in her speeches thats the moment where she seems to be most genuinely eager to discuss it and remind voters. If you can run up the numbers in scranton and do as well as theyre expected to in the fitzburg and philadelphia areas that puts the keystone state away and who better than the Vice President to come along for that today. This is an area she campaigned in in 2008 and did well in given her personal connection bus to have biden come back and be a witness in a corner of the state where theres a lot of white voters and white men. If she can cut into those numbers while running up the score elsewhere in the state it could put this one away as well. What about the unique story the way the Vice President referred to himself as the obama whisperer, when he and Hillary Clinton worked together ryan, youve written a lot i know about the Vice President. Talk about the arc of their relationship. That was one of the examples where youre trying to Say Something nice about the candidate but its slightly passive aggressive. [ laughter ] the way i read that was me, joe biden, im so close to barack obama that Hillary Clinton, who wasnt, she had to come to me to understand this inscrutable presence. So talking about biden and hillary being close but she didnt have access to the president like i did. The second half of the speech, the outright blistering attack on donald trump was quite something as david pointed out. Essentially they are trying to disqualify donald trump as a legitimate candidate. Someone who very rare in any president ial campaign in america that is simply not qualified to be president and the subtext of it was not that hes not just qualified, but thats already a i hate to say it but the subtext was hes already a security threat. He said it specifically. He called him a current threat. Joe biden basically said after the speech hes going over to europe to make sure our allies understand were still committed to nato, please dont listen to donald trump about what he says this is historically atypical, the kind of campaign we have right now. Where the one campaign is accusing what one campaign is accusing the other of. One other point, brooke, he said that donald trump would have admired stalin who is responsible for tens of millions of deaths of his own people. You dont get much more raw than that. Were this close to him saying he would admire hitler or something. That was one we sort of went whoa to when we heard that. Im going ask you to stick around from one campaign to the ne next. Were watching and waiting from donald trump. Hell take the stage in youngtown, ohio, to defeat isis. Rudy giuliani helping to team him up in this special battleground state. Lots to talk about on this monday. Youre watching cnn. Energy is a complex challenge. People want power. And power plants account for more than a third of energyrelated carbon emissions. The challenge is to capture the emissions before theyre released into the atmosphere. Exxonmobil is a leader in carbon capture. Our team is working to make this technology better, more affordable so it can reduce emissions around the world. Thats what were working on right now. Energy lives here. This is judy. Judy is 65 years old. Her mortgage payment is 728 a month. Thats almost 9,000 a year now judy doesnt think that shell be able to retire until her mortgage is fully paid off. This is mike.

Live pictures, youngtown ohio, here is former new york mayor Rudy Giuliani speaking ahead of dwloump onald trump wh about to take the stage in one of the most important speeches of his campaign so far. After spending months and months refusing to defend his plan on how he will defeat isis because he says he doesnt want to clue in on the enemy, he is expecting to reveal more details. He will also lay out his strategy on how to defeat radical islam at home, a tenet of his plan that involves ideological testing of some sort to make sure any potential immigrant are in agreement with the american way of life on issues, making sure theyre not antisemitic, not against any notion of homosexuality and other issues that would be against American Values. First up, i have sarah murray on the trail with mr. Trump today there in youngstown, ohio. Sarah murray, we just heard Hillary Clinton say this about trumps plan. Here she was. So well wait and see what he says today but you know sometimes he says he wont tell anyone what hell do because he wants to keep his plan secret. [ laughter ] then it turns out the secret is he has no plan. [ laughter ] so we heard that was the prebuttal from Hillary Clinton. Brooke, the campaign is framing this as a vision of philosophy by donald trump for how to defeat isis, were expecting him to come out here and say its time for the u. S. To abandon its aspirations to be a nation builder, to be a country that spreads democracy in the middle east and instead focus in on battling isis on all fronts. Were expecting him to come out and say this battle against isis means anyone who is against isis is for america, needs to be one of our allies in fighting that battle. Now were also expecting him to flesh out some of the more controversial immigration plans hes proposed. Weve heard of the muslim ban in the past then we heard his campaign sort of explain that in fact what theyre talking about doing is banning immigrants from country they believe breed terrorism. Hes going to propose a test for immigrants coming to the u. S. Anyone who might hold antisemitic or gay views. There could be logistical views with how you put Something Like that in place. Well listen for it. Sarah murray, thank you for now. Let me bring in my panel ahead of mr. Trump speaking there in ohio. I have at the pentagon barbara starr, a pentagon correspondent, i have retired general wesley clark, former nato supreme allied commander, phil mudd, counterterrorism analyst and former cia cousecia counterterr official and john hajjar, cochair for americans for trump. General clark, before we get to what mr. Trump will be discussing and john i want to hear from you can we take a moment to talk about what we heard from joe biden . He did not mince words. He said trump does not have what it takes to run this country, he belittles our allies, cannot be trusted with nuclear codes. Have you ever heard a sitting Vice President speak about a potential nominee, potential president like that . No, i havent. But i do believe that Vice President joe bidens concerns are warranted. Ive traveled a loat and everywhere i go i hear complaints about what mr. Trump said and fears and insecurities among the middle east and africa. Theyre asking what does america stand for, what does it mean, can we count on america . His rhetoric is making these countries less safe and hadntable for american businesses and much less secure place. First to you barbara starr. Lets begin with a status update, number of isis fighters killed, the war on terror. Well, the u. S. Now estimates that 45,000 isis fighters have been killed in the last two years in u. S. Air strikes and military action. On the u. S. Side of the equation there are about 4,000 u. S. Troops in america, maybe 200, 300 special operations across the border in syria. A number of air strikes they feel they put a dent in isis and if you just walk around the map a little bit lets show people where most of the action is taking place right now that is so significant. In the northern syrian city of raqqah u. S. Backed fighters have basically pushed isis out of that city, very strategic, very key, thats the city isis had been using to stage fighters to cross into turkey to stage attacks in europe and other place places. In raqqah they are beginning to try to move against isis in mosul, they are trying to move against isis with iraqi forces and u. S. Backed forces in syria, going to be hard going, none of it will be easy. How is isis reacting to all of this . We have seen over the last several months a number of attacks abroad in europe, in other places, in bangladesh, the airport in istanbul, turkey. Isis reacting by trying to step up its overseas recruiting inspiring people in its way through social media to attack wherever they can thats something the military cant solve, that will be the longterm crux of the mather, h matter, how do you kill off the ideology . Barbara, thank you, john, to y you. When i listen to barbara and shes talking about the information from u. S. Intelligence, this is based upon countries, iraq, syria, libya, farther away. It seem what is mr. Trump will outline is how to keep terror out of the u. S. Stark difference, yes . No. You see, isis is already in the u. S. And what the Vice President has failed to mention is the ideology and thats whats been missing for the past seven years. What trump says doesnt create the ideology of islamic terror. Islamic terror has a very long history and its been existing for 14 centuries nearly. You can talk about isis being beaten on the battlefield but theyre growing like wildfire. Its a metastasizing cancer. If theyre destroyed like al qaeda before them there will be another group to come along unless the attack is taken to the ideology. Thats whats been going on under the Obama Administration and Hillary Clinton would be a continuation of that. I think youller that clearly from donald trump in his speech shortly. When you say isis is in the United States, i think immediately of the isisinspired attack in San Bernardino, california. Can you give me other examples . You dont have to carry a card. Theres no Ministry Within isis issuing identity cards, collecting dues. You just have to ascribe to the ideology. Theres nothing to counter it. Nothing whatever. Theyve been ignoring it. So Donald Trumps rhetoric how have they been ignoring it when accord dog barbara starrs reporting 45,000 isis fighters have been killed since 2014 . Thats not the ideology. I thought he would end wars, w seems like were in more wars. He promised to pull troops out of iraq, hes clandestinely sending troops back into iraq. So its growing, east asia, the philippines, all over in western europe its growing like wildfire among muslim immigrant communities and were doing nothing. And Hillary Clinton says were going to allow more Syrian Refugees in the country. What happened to the yazidi being slaughter . Are any of them amon
